About Rensai ​

Rensai is a free, open-source manga reader for the desktop. It brings local files and website series into a library with configurable reading layouts, offline downloads, and progress tracking.

The website introduces the desktop application and provides reader guides. Reading happens in the desktop app.

Built from Houdoku ​

Rensai continues the work of Houdoku and its contributors. The library screenshots show the current Rensai desktop interface with fictional sample titles. The landing-page illustration is artwork, not an application screenshot.

Rensai keeps the original project's history, MIT license, and copyright notices. It is maintained independently under the Rensai name.
